❄ sixth reminder
[ morning ; 1338 benny road ]
[ Jade can't help but feel something is wrong this morning when she wakes up. She feels like she's missed something, almost like she's been asleep for a long time. She stumbles out of bed, feeling a little fuzzy, noticing the changes to her room. The window's been repaired, there's a backpack that she didn't have before with half finished homework on the desk. She doesn't really start to feel concerned until she looks at the calendar on her wall, which has been flipped over to October.
That can't be right.
She grabs it from the wall, bursts out into the hallway still in her nightgown and clutching it to her chest. ]
Karkat? Gamzee?

Hi Mayfield! Long time no talk! Or maybe we did talk, but it wasn't me me, it was creepy drone me. I'm not really sure what happened, I can't remember anything since, hmmm, a couple weeks ago, I think, after the zombies. I don't remember going home, or being here, nothing! It's kind of scary, but I'm glad that I was a normal creepy drone and not a murderous creepy drone. I really hope that doesn't happen to me again. Have you ever had something like that happen to you? Not even just droning but, I don't know, something reeeeally creepy where you almost... don't exist. It's kind of scary.
Oh, and apparently I'm a girl scout now, hehe.
[ afternoon ; your front door ]
[ There is some pretty persistent knocking at your front door right now. If and when you get around to answering it, you will find Jade on your doorstep, wagon stacked high with boxes of cookies behind her. She is looking particularly adorable right now, all dressed up in a girl scout's uniform. ]
Hi!! Do you like cookies?

Eridan? Hi, um... how are you?

Don't need to be apologizin' you probably did get panscrubbed because a' escapin' the schoolhive. I somehow was managin' to avoid it but I got my punishment. Those drones or whatever they're fuckin' called went an' shoved me in a locker an' were shovin' my head down a toilet when I was tellin' them they should be treatin' a nobleblooded sea troll with a little more respect. An' that they were waxin' black for me an' I'd help them learn about all a' that....
[Yeah Jade, you can facepalm now. See what trouble he gets into when you're not around?!]

[He's trying to hold back his own laughter. Jade's laughter is contagious.]
Well, I'm doin' a bit better since you're back. An' things are lookin' up with Fef. Funny that I thought she'd be wantin' to kill me when I was here an' it's been the opposite. It's nice... I'm likin' it. Not gonna be fuckin' this up this time.

[ The giggles go on for a bit longer, before finally quieting down. ]
I'm glad to hear about Feferi! [ Even though she...already knows. She is not sure whether girl talk is more or less sacred than morailallegiance but she is pretty sure that it is higher, just a little. ] I hope you didn't get into too much trouble while I was gone.

Well Kar's upset with me but what else is new really.

He's got a fair reason to be jealous a' either a' us, after all...
[Though he's really nervous now, he probably told her everything that went down with him. He's fearing the worst...His voice is rather shaky and it sounds like he's really only trying to convince himself that that's what the true reason Karkat doesn't want the two of them together in any sense.]

That's not it. I understand why he's not happy about it, but... well, I think this is really important.
